Abstract

A micro-speaker includes a frame, a yoke received in the frame, a connecting plate received in the yoke, a magnet received in the yoke, a pole plate attached onto the magnet, a diaphragm attached to the frame, a voice coil positioned on the connecting plate and surrounding the magnet, and a case covering the diaphragm. The diaphragm includes a central area in a center thereof, a joint area at an outer periphery thereof, and a connecting area between the central area and the joint area. The connecting plate includes a central portion formed in a central thereof for connecting with the central area of the diaphragm, and an oblique wall obliquely connecting to the central portion. The voice coil is wrapped on the oblique wall.

Claims (39)

1. A micro-speaker comprising:

a frame;

a case supported on the frame and cooperatively with the frame defining a chamber therebetween;

a diaphragm received in the chamber and attached to the frame;

a yoke received in the chamber;

a magnet received in the chamber and attached on the top of the yoke;

a pole plate received in the chamber and attached to the top of the magnet;

a connecting plate received in the chamber and defining a central portion attached to the bottom of the diaphragm, and an oblique sidewall obliquely connecting to the central portion;

a voice coil wrapped round the oblique sidewall of the connecting plate and surrounding the magnet and the pole plate; and

wherein the oblique sidewall defines a first part obliquely connecting to the central portion, and a second part connecting with the first part and extending downwardly perpendicular to the central portion, the voice coil is wrapped round the second part of the oblique sidewall, and together with the second part moves up and down in a magnet gap formed between the magnet and the inner wall of the yoke when an electric current applied to the voice coil.

2. The micro-speaker as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an obtuse angle is formed between the first part and the central portion.

3. The micro-speaker as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an acute angle is formed between the first part and the central portion.

4. The micro-speaker as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the connecting plate further includes an annular base portion extending perpendicularly from the second part for carrying a bottom end of the voice coil, and an outer diameter of the base portion is greater than an outer diameter of the central portion.

5. The micro-speaker as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the diaphragm includes a central area formed on a center thereof and connected with the central portion of the connecting plate, a joint area at an outer periphery thereof, and a connecting area between the central area and the joint area, the central area, the joint area and the connecting area are coaxial.

6. The micro-speaker as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the connecting area is curved upwardly or downwardly to form an annular bugle or a concave, and the joint area is annular and disposed at an outer periphery of the connecting area.

7. The micro-speaker as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the frame includes a pair of first longitudinal sidewalls, a pair of first transverse sidewalls, and the yoke includes a base wall, a pair of second longitudinal sidewalls extending upwardly and perpendicularly from a longitudinal outer periphery of the base wall, and a pair of second transverse sidewalls extending upwardly and perpendicularly from a transverse outer periphery of the base wall, the second transverse wall defines a slot for accommodating the first transverse sidewall.

8. The micro-speaker as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the frame further includes a plurality of semi-columned protrusions extending upwardly from the a plurality of corresponding corners thereof, and the case further includes a plurality of semi-columned recesses for engaging with the corresponding protrusions of the frame.

9. The micro-speaker as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pole plate includes a bevel corresponding to the oblique sidewall of the connecting plate.

10. A micro-speaker comprising:

a frame;

a case supported on the frame and cooperatively with the frame defining a chamber therebetween;

a diaphragm received in the chamber and attached to the frame;

a yoke received in the chamber;

a magnet received in the chamber and attached on the top of the yoke;

a pole plate received in the chamber and attached to the top of the magnet;

a magnetic gap formed between the magnet and the yoke;

a connecting plate received in the chamber and defining a central portion attached to the bottom of the diaphragm, and an oblique sidewall obliquely connecting to the central portion and partially received in the magnetic gap;

a voice coil wrapped round the oblique sidewall of the connecting plate;

wherein the oblique sidewall defines a first part obliquely connecting to the central portion, and a second part connecting with the first part and received in the magnetic gap, the voice coil is wrapped round the second part of the oblique sidewall, and together with the second part moves up and down in the magnetic gap when an electric current applied to the voice coil.

11. The micro-speaker as described in claim 10 , wherein the connecting plate further includes an annular base portion extending perpendicularly from an end of the second part for carrying a bottom end of the voice coil.

12. The micro-speaker as described in claim 10 , wherein the magnetic circuit includes a magnet and a pole plate on a top of the magnet, the pole palate includes a bevel corresponding to the oblique sidewall of the connecting plate.

13. A micro-speaker comprising:

a frame;

a case supported on the frame and cooperatively with the frame defining a chamber therebetween;

a diaphragm received in the chamber and attached to the frame;

a magnetic circuit including a magnetic gap;

an integrated connecting plate received in the chamber and defining a central portion attached to the bottom of the diaphragm, and an oblique sidewall obliquely extending from the central portion;

a voice coil wrapped round the oblique sidewall of the connecting plate;

wherein the oblique sidewall defines a first part obliquely extending from the central portion, and a second part connecting with the first part and at least partially received in the magnetic gap, the voice coil is wrapped round the second part of the oblique sidewall, and together with the second part moves up and down in the magnetic gap when an electric current applied to the voice coil.
